The diminished happiness comes from the state of the economy NOT Obama’s presidency which is thrilling. It would be better if he didn’t have such a gigantic mess to clean up but if anyone can, I believe we can with him as our leader.

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.” -Washington Irving

You only need to read the comments posted here to know without a doubt that, “THAT ONE” was indeed “chosen” and, America having responded to the “call” has chosen wisely…I am filled with a awesome and immeasurable foreign joy, rooted in the fertile soil of new hope. I have wept openly, uncontrolably, and without hesitation. I feel things stirring in me that I did not believe I had the capacity to entertain. So this is what it feels like to be a proud American in love with his country? Who knew? How could I have ever have imagined this? Thank you, so very much President Elect Obama. Thank you America for inviting me to the party. Now let’s get to work! -Ahma Daeus
